Chapter 110: Gunpowder

He Lingjiang and Pei You ran all the way to the mine in the back mountain, and saw that under the shade of grass and trees, the mine was like a giant beast lurking in the dark, quietly opening a big mouth in the rain before dawn, as if it was about to devour everyone.

However, looking at this intact mine, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She brushed away the grass and trees at the entrance of the cave, pushed open the stone door with Pei You, and entered the mine.

The place of the mine cave is still as usual, the lights are gently flickering, and the sound of chiseling walls is in the distance.

The miners mined as usual, without any panic of being disturbed.

He Lingjiang frowned, it didn't seem to be any different here.

"If you were Nabo, what would you do now?" She looked around and didn't notice anything unusual.

Pei You stared at the lights hanging on the stone wall, and spit out two words: "Explode." ”

Even though he had already guessed, He Lingjiang couldn't help but gasp, and sure enough, he thought so.

With Sun Juncheng here, a thorough investigation of the Nanshan private mining case is unavoidable.

Liu Yuan can't stop him, so he can erase all traces in advance, so that Sun Juncheng can investigate, and he can't get evidence of private collection, and he can't be involved.

Now, the overseer who secretly worked for him is dead, and the few people who transported the ore may have been his man, and they are no longer in the mine.

The rest are the caves that are still mining and the people who are still mining.

As long as the mine is blown up, all the people or things involved in the illegal mining of copper and iron are buried in the ground.

Even if Sun Juncheng brought out the informant to talk about the matter, Liu Yuan could completely bite back, saying that he took advantage of the landslide near the Nanshan mining area to wantonly bite him.

After all, he has not done anything out of place since he took office.

He Ling Jiang lowered his head and looked at the wet clothes on his body that were still dripping.

It rained heavily this night, and the spring thunder showered, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

In the early spring, it is rare to encounter such a heavy rain!

If it is in a mountainous area as Nanshan, it is not strange that a mountain collapses event.

Pei You was still looking at the lights on the stone wall, and He Lingjiang followed his gaze, and when he saw the candle lights on the stone wall, he couldn't help but stare at it.

Candles were expensive, and they shouldn't have been used for lighting in this mine, and besides, she remembered that they had been used for oil lamps when she came before.

Pei You had already stepped forward to take a closer look at the candlelight.

The bright flame of the wick danced gently, and the middle of the body was melted by the high temperature, and a puddle of wax oil accumulated around the wick.

Between breaths, the wax oil was absorbed and burned by the wick, and then a new liquid was melted, and the candle became shorter and shorter little by little, and now it was only two fingers long.

Pei You raised his hand to hold the candle, and saw that there was a lead embedded in the bottom of the candle body, extending from the bottom of the candle along the stone wall.

The lead was gray, the same color as the stone wall, and the hole was so dark that the two of them didn't even see it.

He Lingjiang groped along the lead, and found that something was wrong on the ground next to the stone wall, and the stones here were a little loose.

She took out a dagger from her sleeve and plunged it into the crack in the stone, and the stone was pried.

Pei You's eyebrows moved slightly, and he squatted down to help her move the stone away, revealing the things buried underneath.

The brownish-black powder was piled up in a one-foot-square cavern, full of it.

It's gunpowder powder!

He Lingjiang's heart sank, and he pricked it with a short dagger to test it, but the powder did not reach the end of the dagger.

Such a large amount of gunpowder, all piled up in a small space, once exploded, it was enough to shake the mountain.

He Lingjiang took out the dagger, cut off the lead with his backhand, and then looked at Pei You, who was still holding a candle in one hand: "Stand farther away!" ”

If the candle accidentally falls down and falls into the powder room, the two of them will be finished.

"Poof!"

Pei You blew out the candle in his hand and put it back in its place: "What are you afraid of, what is at stake in your life, can I not be careful?" ”

He Lingjiang glanced at him: "I'm afraid your hands will slip." ”

There was another place on the opposite side, which was also lit, and she quickly went over, blew out the candle, and lifted the body of the candle to look, and sure enough, there was another lead at the bottom of the candle extending down.

He Lingjiang pulled out the lead, only to find that this lead was still connected to the previous place.

What a ploy!

When the candle burns out, it ignites the lead at the bottom, which goes down the stone wall to the powder room under the stone slab.

At that time, as long as there is a "bang", the entire hole will collapse.

I'm afraid that if Liu Yuan wants to blow up the mine, it will be blown up completely, so that people can't check it.

He Zheng also arrived at this time with two of his subordinates.

He Lingjiang came out this time, although he brought Jingwei, there were not many people, and there was a mess in the place of the supervisor, and Liu Da also had to be protected, so he was overstretched at this time.

He Lingjiang pointed to several main mine roads and instructed: "One person at a time, when you see a candle on the stone wall, blow out the candle flame first, and then pull out the lead at the bottom of the candle body, so that someone will not take the opportunity to ignite it." ”

"After that, I will inform the miners that it will rain heavily tonight, and there may be a danger of collapse here, so let people come out of the mine first and avoid other places."

She also advised: "Remember, if it is not necessary, do not say that someone has blown up the mine, so as not to cause panic and accidents." ”

"Each mine road, when it comes out, can the number of liquidators be complete."

Speaking of this, there was a sharp look in her eyes: "If you encounter someone who takes the opportunity to make trouble, you will be killed immediately." ”

He Zheng and the others were stunned, hugged their hands, and then flew away towards several main mines.

He Lingjiang nodded at the remaining two mines, and said to Pei You: "You and I have our own place."

Pei Yu shook his head, flew and jumped into the mine.

He Lingjiang picked up a few gravels, and then entered the mine, and when he encountered a candle burning on the stone wall, he popped out the stones to extinguish it, and then quickly stepped forward and pulled out the lead connected to the underground gunpowder.

Along the way, there were three places of gunpowder buried in a mine.

If this were true for every mine, and the two entrances to the cave, there would be at least seventeen.

This amount of gunpowder is enough to blow up all the mined caverns to the ground, and even blow up half of the mountain.

At that time, the phrase "heavy rain washes down the mountain" can cover everything cleanly, so that people can not find traces of private mining.

After He Lingjiang cleaned up all the candles and fuses, he called out loudly: "Everyone! ”

"Tonight there is heavy rain in the mountains, I am afraid that there is a danger of mountain collapse, please get out of the mine as soon as possible and take refuge elsewhere!"

She used her inner breath, and the sound gradually spread along the large and small mines, circle by circle.

The miners who were digging the wall couldn't help but stop their movements when they heard the sound, and after listening carefully to the content of the words, they immediately put down the hammer chisel in their hands and half-bent out of the mine.

Seeing He Lingjiang standing in the middle of the main mine, the miners couldn't help but be stunned: "This lady, are you shouting?" ”

"Yes." He Ling Jiang said.

The miner frowned: "What you said is true?" Don't think it's funny, deceive me, etc. ”

"What a lie you have done?" He Lingjiang raised his wet sleeves, "If you look at my description, you will know that it is raining heavily outside. ”

A short-haired middle-aged man stood up at this time: "Who is the lady?" How did you know that we were quarrying here? ”

The mine here is a private mining, not to mention the concealment of the cave entrance, but also a secret stone gate, no one knows, even they are miners, they all stay on the mountain, not easy to go down the mountain.

Why did such a young lady suddenly appear and know where they were mining?

Didn't the government find out that there were people here who were privately mining and sent someone to trick them out?

As he said this, the eyes of the people in the mine who looked at He Lingjiang changed suddenly, and their thoughts floated.
